Craving something sweet? There’s a factory tour that’s close enough to Cleveland to merit a day trip, and it will indulge your senses. The sweet aromas of mouthwatering ingredients, the flavors of indulgent confections, the excitement that comes with an inside look… nothing quite compares to the Fannie May factory tour in North Canton. Sound exciting? You’ll be even more excited to discover that it’s free! However, we do suggest bringing a bit of cash… you’re definitely going to want to swing by the gift shop on the way out.
Located about an hour away from Cleveland, the Fannie May factory in North Canton is where delicious Harry London Chocolates are produced.
Fannie May doubtlessly caused an uproar among chocolate lovers when it got its start at the beginning of the Roaring Twenties. By the time World War II rolled around, ingredients were in short demand. However, Fannie May refused to change its recipes. Delicious ingredients are a necessity for delicious chocolates... and that dedication to quality continues today.
Visitors to the factory can enjoy a free behind-the-scenes peek at the chocolate-making process.
You'll want to call in to make a reservation for your tour, but it isn't hard! Participants are required to wear a mask for safety reasons, so that is something to keep in mind as you're planning.
